Mike Coombs: Ax2x3x4x5x6x8x
Frank Kafka: 3x4x5x6x7xJxJx
As the last cards hit the table it became clear that Coombs had made a wheel to beat Kafka's seven low, and keep himself alive in the tournament.
"That's perfect timing," Coombs told PokerNews. "That's the first hand I've won all day."

Michael Harrison: XxXx/5xQx2x10xXx
Michael Budde: XxXx/3x7xQxQx - folded on sixth street
Dara Taherpour: 4x8x8x5xKx/Xx
Taherpour bet on fifth and sixth streets, losing Budde after sixth, but with Harrison holding firm. "I start out good and then I can't get anything but kings and queens," complained Budde before folding.
But a dark bet before seventh was enough to get Harrison to fold once he had checked his third hole card. Taherpour flashed a card to Harrison to prove he had gotten there. "I showed the ace of clubs," he explained.
